Hello Natalie, I also teach in Victoria, Australia, so it is good to see more Aussies making the most of this wonderful classroom.

Hi all,

Didn't do this back when I joined so thought I should get caught up. I was a classroom teacher for 23 years . . . in both "brick & mortar" and online classrooms . . . from 5th grade through grad school courses. I love learning and the process of "architectureing" learning environments.

Currently, I am working on a supplemental degree with sights on getting involved in the arena of educational policy.

- Greg

I'm Jason Goodreau from Springfield, Illinois. Thanks for letting me share this journey with you all. I'm the Director of Technology and Tech Curriculum as well as a teacher for Sacred Heart - Griffin High School in Springfield. Prior to that I served as the DoT for the Pleasant Plains School District - a rural unit district in central Illinois. I began my career in the St. Louis and St. Louis metro area as a tech manager and teacher for various schools which gave me the opportunity to learn about the mechanizations of schools in an urban setting.

I feel blessed to be able to network with professionals such as you! I am here to learn from the vast pool of knowledge, expertise, and experience here. I also want to share whatever I can to make things a little better for you if possible.

Thanks all!

Hi everyone,

It looks like there are a few fellow Aussies around here. I have just recently graduated as a primary school educator and I am very excited to pursue my new career path. As my previous background is in IT my goal is to use this to the best of my abilities to educate my students and fellow teachers in the advantages and disadvantages of technology in the classroom.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to joining in!

Ben

Hi Ben
Welcome to teaching and Classroom 2.0. I'd give you gold star right away for mentioning that there are sometimes also disadvantages with tech in a classroom. Sounds like your background will definitely help you (and others) avoid some of those.
